Day
93:
There was a mutual agreement among the representatives of
all parties (the Government, the Military, the Tribal Committee, Dammaaj and the
houthis) for a cease-fire that was to start today at 6 a.m.. The agreement was
for the Yemeni Military to come today and all positions be turned over
to them, along with the houthi check points and roads to be opened back up
(thus removing us from the houthis siege).
Instead the houthis denied the Yemeni
Army to enter Dammaaj only on the condition they would not bring
heavy artillery and the soldiers would only enter with a gun and a clip vest.
Approximately 9:15 a.m the houthis
began yet another attack on the main Masjid and surrounding area. As they have
done before they bombard the Masjid and its surrounding areas with tank,
cannon, mortar shells and anti-aircraft artillery. The shelling usually
includes the areas near the emergency shelter for the women and children and
they deliberately aim for our main water supply for those that live in the area
of the main Masjid. Al-Hamdulillah only some suffered minor injuries.
Yesterday the Tribal Committee headed by Al-Maqdashi came with papers about the cease-fire agreement for Sheikh Yahyaa. They brought along with them
some supplies from the Government for us, may Allah reward them. The houthis
continued their sniper fire throughout the night, even firing a B-10 cannon at some
of the students in the Watan area. No one was hurt Al-Hamdulillah
